But I agree with you...the merger will cause lots of issues.

It was done so that Comcast can control internet access. More and more people are cancelling cable and getting Roku and other services. But THAT will still be controlled by Comcast - and they want to be able to "sell" access to big companies at higher speeds and kick off the little guys who won't pay up.

By reclassifying it as a utility (and making all net speeds the same - net neutral) - people will benefit.

We should all be supporting net neutrality - loudly and strongly.

If you're not aware of what that is, be sure to look it up. It is extremely important.

Thanks for reminding us all.

The executive order to reclassify it as a utility will be a BIG boon for consumers.
